On Thursday (December 31, 2020), the Envirotainer container truck loaded with Sinovac COVID-19 prepares to leave the cargo terminal at Tangerang Suha Airport in Banten province. Up to 1.8 million doses of the Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine were shipped to Bandung Bio Farma for clinical trials.
[CNN, Yakarta, Indonesia]1.8 million doses of vaccine produced by Beijing Kexing Biological Products Co., Ltd. (SINOVAC BIOTECH CO., LTD.) Arrived at Suha International Airport on December 30, 2020. This is the second shipment of vaccines that China has obtained from China. The Health Ministry said it will begin vaccination in mid-January this year. In the first stage, priority is given to vaccinating health workers against a new coronary pneumonia.
“We are very optimistic that the first phase of the first phase of the new vaccination against corona pneumonia will have priority for health workers in mid-January, according to the schedule.” Siti Nadia Tramidzi, spokesperson for the new corona pneumonia vaccine from the Ministry of Health said this at the online press conference on January 3.
Sitinadia said he was optimistic because he saw good results in clinical trials in Turkey and Brazil. In addition, the Phase III clinical trial carried out by Universitas Padjajaran has also obtained positive results, so she is sure that the new vaccination schedule against coronary pneumonia will not be delayed.
Health Minister Budi Gunadi Sadikin stated separately that the new corona pneumonia vaccine will be completed in 15 months or March 2022, with a vaccination target of 181.5 million people.
The vaccination plan will be divided into two stages, the first, from January to April of this year, will be aimed at 1.3 million health workers and 17.4 million public officials in 34 provinces. Then there are about 21.5 million people over the age of 60. If it is shown that the vaccine can be safely vaccinated to the elderly, these elderly will definitely become the priority group.
At the same time, the second phase of the vaccination period, from April 2021 to March 2022, will provide vaccines to vulnerable groups or populations in areas with a high risk of contagion of 63.9 million people.
Finally, according to the vaccine supply, the vaccine will be vaccinated to people in a group. The goal is for 77.4 million people to receive free vaccines.
The Minister of Health, Budi, plans to vaccinate between 67% and 70% of the population (approximately 181 million people) to generate immunity against the new coronavirus.
To achieve the goal of herd immunity, the government has prepared 426 million doses of vaccines for 181 million people. According to the standards of the World Health Organization (WHO), each resident will receive two doses of the vaccine.
Budi said: “We are preparing a 15% buffer reserve, so the total amount of vaccine we need is approximately 426 million doses of vaccine.” (ADR)
